Airlie Beach

We are anchored off Airlie Beach at the moment. Waiting for our shore excursion to meet and get on a tender.  Today we will see a pontoon tethered over the great barrier reef.  We get to snorkel, dive, etc when we get there by catamaran.

Yesterday we spent sailing around Willis Island, a sea bird sanctuary.  We got dive-bombed a few times.  Couldn't tell what kinds of birds they were, but we have pictures to identify them by when we get a chance.

It is really hot here. I (Connie) got toasted yesterday.  We were hanging around the adult only pool in the back of the ship.  Sorry, aft.  Gotta speak the lingo, eh?  It is actually November 11 today at about 9:20 am.  When I post this it will put home time on it.

Well, gotta run.  G'day everyone!  Adventure awaits!
